TO ALL WHOM IT MAY CONCERN:

Be it known that I, JAMES WALLACE, of Sheridan, in the county ofLebanon, and State of Pennsylvania, have invented certain new and usefulImprovements in Ploughs and do hereby declare that the following is afull, clear, and exact description thereof, reference being had to theaccompanyingdrawings, and to the let ters of reference marked thereon. V

In the annexed drawings, making part of this specification, A representsthe beam, C'the land-side, and B the handles of any ordinary plough. -DD represents a rod, which is connected to the beam by means of the loopsor staples g 9, said rod lying along the lower edge of the beam; thisrod is pointed as seen at X. To the rear end of the rod is pivoted thelower end of a lever, H; this lever H is also pivoted to one of thehandles of the plough, as seen at'a. The forward end of the rod D ismade broad and slightly-concave. This rod has an endwise movement, sothat it may be drawn back of and thrust beyond the forward standardwhich connects the land-side to the beam. The object of this rod is torelieve theplough of weeds and stubble which collect between the beamand the forward standard of the land-side. By means of the handle II therod D l) is thrust forward to relieve the plough, or drawn back out ofthe way, said handle being operated by the ploughman.

Having thus fully described my invention, what I claim, isr The jointedrod D D, used in combination with the beam, and the handle H,-as and forthe purpose specified.

In testimony that I claim the foregoing I have hereunto set my hand andseal this 6th day of May, 1867.
